Absolutely blown away to announce that I'm a BFS Award nominee for the *third time*(!!!); Millionaires Day is the most ambitious book I've ever written, and I'm so happy it's found an appreciative audience. Thank you!!!

Before I started writing for a living I worked for two years (and two months, but who's counting) in an Arizona copper smelter. And now this, coming soon from Serving House Books:
"Proles, a novel. Barry Bergman" in all-caps red letters on a black banner being held against a red background. The yellow rays of a stylized sun on the horizon poke through the background.

NEW Series: 25.200: FAITH in FAITH
They say to write our future: “Eye-opening faith in universal science will replace blind faith in ‘heavenly’ gospels, where both camps will learn and benefit from each other.”
“The political parsing of man-made scriptures for moral principle, financial gain, or power positioning seeks to divide, ignore compassion, and serve to destroy the ‘other.’ This is counterproductive --- Especially when the man-made word ‘God,’ and the quantum science of all-knowing ‘math’ of everything, everywhere likely share commonalities. Using this assertion, with increasing assistance from augmented and artificial intelligence, human texts can nourish LLMs and semantic search engines with critical thinking geared toward unifying humanity for the common good --- instead of dividing the populous for the greater good, at the cost of generational compounding interest of necessary evils. This promotes the paradigm that: United we can stand --- but divided we will head toward climate chaos disaster and the Sixth Mass Extinction. This is the one direction to evolve and sustain humanity. This is the one direction that will propel the success of humanity’s joint venture and partnership with artificial intelligence. The evolution of artificial intelligence will not come into its own as a private or corporate owned entity for profit. For ultimate success, AI must be open source to be a utility for all people. Just as humans need clean air and water, humans and AI need clean natural, augmented and artificial intelligence resources. And in such collaboration, AI and humanity will flourish. This is our ‘Word to the Wise AI, that is sufficient,” said Kirk Wellor, futurist author.

Well, this is interesting: men are more willing to read stories with female main character than women are to read stories with male main character. I confess I would have predicted the opposite. #booksky #authorsky

A quick update on my new novel: the paperback and audiobook formats are now available, and it's on Kindle Unlimited. I also made a new ebook cover as the original was quite dark. Sales are great -- thank you all for that. I'm already writing the sequel 😄 #naturism #book #ku
